He was mentally prepared to be killed on the spot, but two intruders of unknown origin just left?
Even though the other party said this, he still didn't dare to look up until the door was closed.
The moonlight poured through the window in front of the bed, and they were indeed gone.
Wu Zhaokun stayed for a while and then slowly stood up.
"My life was spared."
The familiar voice made him furious. Without turning around, he said to the person who entered the room at some point: "Your zombie is so fragile, it almost ruined something big."
"Master Magistrate, please calm down. It's not that the old zombies are weak, but that they are strong. Judging from the methods used by the two young men, one is a fox demon who has practiced for about two hundred years, and the other is a master of the Yin Gate and theft gate."
A master, my giant corpse is really hard to resist."
The voice was gloomy and steady. Although the wording and tone were calm, it could still make people feel sarcastic.
This made Wu Zhaokun even more irritated. "Strong words! Where are the corpses you used as treasures? Why not use them?"
"Haha, don't worry, magistrate. That thing makes too much noise when used. I'm afraid it will disturb the neighbors and cause trouble to the adults."
"Hmph, am I in less trouble? They even know what's hidden under the well! What did you say at the beginning? There are evil ghosts to guard you, and there is nothing wrong. In the end, someone broke in! I tell you, if it's my business
If it’s exposed, don’t even think about it!”
"Of course, of course."
……
Zhou Shi and Luo Ziqing ran all the way until they stopped at Yuqing Street where Fengde Building is located.
"Hey, let him go like this?" Luo Ziqing asked. After finally getting rid of the two corpses and asking the truth, she had to slip away like this. This was really hard for her to accept.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Zhou Shi said with a smile, "You can only catch big fish by putting a long line on it."
He was 70% sure that Wu Zhaokun was not lying about the cause of Xu Ling'er's death. After all, he had many ways to seal her mouth and there was no need to kill his helpless lover himself. The real doubt was what Xu Ling'er heard.<
/p>
When a high-ranking father-in-law celebrates his birthday, those who want to curry favor with him ask his son-in-law to deliver birthday gifts. This is normal in itself and does not require keeping anything secret as Wu Zhaokun said.
Fortunately, Zhou Shi has already thought of a method of investigation. He has had tentative dealings with the Qinglong Gang who are in charge of the dock. Just ask if there are no cargo ships filled with gold and silver treasures leaving the port recently. Moreover, the Qinglong Gang has been entrenched in Jiangdu Port for many years.
I’m afraid no one will believe me if I say I haven’t dealt with the Jiangdu prefecture.
"Can I and the Qinglong Gang be considered acquaintances without fighting? It doesn't seem possible...but you can ask Fu Yujiang, the corpse hunter, to find out. He has great reputation in the Qinglong Gang."
Wu Zhaokun would definitely not come out honestly. It would be better to listen to the general idea first and then investigate on his own. This was one of the reasons why Zhou Shi left decisively. And the second reason was the person hiding in the dark, manipulating the long-braided corpse.
The corpse chaser.
It is unbelievable that a third-grade official who relied on the imperial examination to become an official is proficient in the method of exorcising corpses. And if the two walking corpses were made by Wu Zhaokun himself, why would he give up the control of one of them?
Therefore, Zhou Shi concluded that the person who manipulated the long-braided corpse was the real corpse hunter, and the giant corpse was just given to Wu Zhaokun for use.
Two walking corpses were enough for Zhou Shi and Luo Ziqing to deal with. If a few more corpses arrived, or the corpse exterminators took action in person, the situation would be quite critical. However, it can be inferred from the fact that neither of them was stopped from breaking into the main room.
The corpse driver only cooperated with Wu Zhaokun for a certain purpose. As long as Wu Zhaokun's life was not endangered, he would not take action.
Therefore, Zhou Shi did not dare to do anything to Wu Zhaokun, so he had to withdraw first.
It was difficult to explain this truth to Luo Ziqing, so Zhou Shi directly comforted him:
"It doesn't matter, remember the money we 'fished' out of the well? That house is different from Wu Zhaokun's compound. There are densely populated houses around it. If we make such a big noise, we will definitely attract attention, not to mention there is a government servant lying on the street.
Go...just wait for them to report to the government, and the government people will come to investigate the origin of the money and see how Wu Zhaokun ends up."
Of course, as the top leader in Jiangdu, if he wanted to conceal the matter, he would definitely have a way. However, Zhou Shi did not expect that this piece of evidence would be able to bring Wu Zhaokun down. The most important thing was to create trouble for him and find out his methods.
, looking for his flaws.
"I'm not alone. The gold medal agent Zhao Xuanke is still in Jiangdu. With her character, she must be very interested in corrupt officials. So I still need to make a big noise to attract her attention."
As for the personal feud between Zhou Shi and Wu Zhaokun, we can deal with it after the truth of the matter is revealed.
After Luo Ziqing listened to Zhou Shi's explanation, it took him a while to come around.
"Okay, but you must tell me the result." She knew the beginning of the story and of course wanted to see the end.
"No problem."
"Then I'll go back first, otherwise my aunt will scold me..."
"Slow."
Luo Ziqing turned around and was about to leave. When she heard Zhou Shi's call to stop, she suddenly stopped and her ears stood up straight.
"You haven't returned my things to me yet."
Luo Ziqing reluctantly took off the golden fish from his finger and handed it to Zhou Shi reluctantly.
"Yes, you can leave now."
Seeing Luo Ziqing jump up to the roof and disappear from sight, Zhou Shi smiled and put the gold fish back into the iron abacus, then opened the door and walked into Fengde Building.
There is a fish-belly white color in the east, and the sky is about to break.
……
Zhao Xuan slowly stood up and stared down at the body at her feet.
"It seems that the fatal injury was the blow that penetrated the heart. The murderer first stabbed him through both sides, and then cut off his head. But before that, the deceased and the murderer had a struggle, and the deceased's right arm
It was cut off at that time."
Next to her, an old man wearing a long gown with white beard and hair said: "The object that pierced the heart was not a sharp weapon. It broke two ribs and left a large wound. I think it looks like...
”
"Like?"
"It looks like a human hand. Mr. Zhao, I think the deceased was directly penetrated by the murderer's hand."
Zhao Xuan shrugged and said: "That is truly a 'murderer'. Mr. Xu, do you think what cut off the deceased's arm?"
"A sharp weapon, obviously cut with a sharp blade."
"Oh? That's weird." Zhao Xuan circled the corpse and said casually, "Since the murderer was armed with weapons, why did he kill the deceased with his hands? If the murderer had the skill to penetrate the human body with his bare hands, then he
What are you doing with a weapon?"
"Master Zhao means..."
"There was no 'sharp blade'. The murderer cut off the deceased's arm with his bare hands."
"How is this possible? The cross-sections of the limbs are very neat. By hand..."
The old man was about to retort when a government servant suddenly broke in.
"Master Zhao, Master Zhao! It has been confirmed with the portrait that the deceased is Wu Shenghui!"
"Well, you can tell just by looking at his fists." Zhao Xuan picked up the only remaining hand of the corpse and looked at the dense calluses and protruding knuckles, "This person is known as the 'No. 1 puncher in the Seven Hundred Miles River'
Wu Shenghui, the master of Hunlongquan. He can be considered a first-class master, but he was killed easily, and in such a weird way..."
She stood up, a sneer creeping onto her lips.
"Finally, the two missing bodies finally appeared."
